Description
CD edition of John Coltrane's classic 'Blue Trane' + bonus album 'Lush Life' with 28-page booklet featuring new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's Brian Morton and Paris' prestigious publication, Jazz Magazine.

"All the qualities one associates with Coltrane - the iron-hard tone, the harmonic precision and freedom, the often-overlooked rhythmic elasticity - are already present here, but for the moment at least, the blues is still his basic language." - Penguin Guide To Jazz

Description
Iconic John Coltrane LP 'Blue Train' + bonus track pressed on 180g blue vinyl, includes new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide To Jazz's writer Brian Morton and Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine.

"This album marks John Coltrane's third recording as a leader. Though he had yet to realize many of the greatest achievements of his career, the fact that he established himself as an instrumentalist and as a composer so early and with such authority is a feat that few have accomplished." - Jazz Magazine, Paris

Description
Limited edition classic LP, reissued on 180g vinyl, audiophile pressing.

Tenor saxophonist John Coltrane's 1957 studio session in Hackensack, New Jersey produced all the material for the legendary album, Blue Train. The album marked the first time that Trane was given the opportunity to select his own sidemen for a date. He made effective use of his newfound freedom, enlisting the support of trumpeter Lee Morgan, trombonist Curtis Fuller, pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones. When asked in a 1960 radio interview which was his favourite of all the albums he recorded up to that point, Coltrane was quick to reply, Blue Train.

Description

One of John Coltrane's most popular albums and considered his "true" first solo album with musicians he chose himself. Blue Train still remained faithful to the hard bop style: on very Bop compositions, John Coltrane already imprints his sound and his offbeat and innovative playing. It's over several octaves and lines up beautiful rhythmic progressions: blues, swing and funk are omnipresent. Recorded in 1957 "Blue Train" is therefore a musical work to discover or rediscover. John Coltrane is recognized as one of the best jazzmen.
This release is part of the New Ermitage collection available from January 2024: 18 jazz and soul titles reissued on yellow vinyl with new codes and renewed graphics.
